Jekyll Island Podcast: The Maritime Forest and Boneyard Beach (VP)

Our 7th grade students spent last week on a science expedition on Jekyll Island, exploring the marine habit and ecosystems. Not only did they have a tremendous amount of fun, but they attended classes in the field, studying:

The Slouth

The Maritime Forest

The Beach

The Marsh

The Dock

Herpetology

Endangered Species

The depth of understanding acquired by our students by seeing, feeling, and holding first hand is difficult to match. Be sure to visit the Jekyll Island, 2007 blog at the Mabry Global Learning Collaborative. You will find hundreds and hundreds of pictures of the students in their classes.

While on the island, student created short video podcasts of their experiences. This podcast highlights the maritime forest, also known as Boneyard Beach.

Life Science Students Study Genetic Transformations (VP)

Our seventh grade Life Science students have learned about transgenics: the process of extracting genetic material from one organism and inserting it into another. In this podcast they clearly describe the scientific process of this experiment in which they extracted a DNA plasmid from a jellyfish and inserted it into the DNA of a bacteria. They grew this new microorganism in the lab, designing a new species of bacteria which manufactures a protein that fluoresces under UV light, indicating that the new DNA had been successfully inserted into the DNA of the bacteria.

Our students are getting an authentic look at how genetic scientists are using new technologies to create treatments (and hopefully someday even cures) for diseases such as diabetes, hemophilia, and sickle cell anemia to name a few.

Jekyll Island Preview (VP)

Our science students in 7th grade will be taking their annual science expedition to Jekyll Island once again this year. This podcast is a quick preview of last year's event. You can also check out last year's Jekyll, 2006, blog for other podcasts and hundreds of photos from the expedition.

Most Eggcellent Eggsperiment (VP)

Seventh grade Life Science @ Mabry continues to rock...or, um... egg. As a part of this major unit on cells, students were learning about cellular transportation through osmosis and diffusion. The students used eggs to parallel or model an animal cell. For 6 days they added solutions of varying water concentrations to observe the effects on the eggs' mass and circumference. The eggs could lose or gain mass based on the properties of the solution in which they soaked.

Take just a few minutes to sense the eggcitement of learning in science!

Microscope Mania Sweeps 7th Grade Science (VP)

Mrs. Larkin and her students made this video podcast to show us all of the engaging learning experiences they had with their unit on microscopes. You can also view this video podcast in your browser at this link.

Gummy Bears Teach Scientific Method (VP)

Gummy Bears were used in 7th grade Life Science to teach students the scientific method. This video podcast by Mrs. Kulkarni and her students is an overview of the lesson, procedures, vocabulary, and knowledge Mrs. Kulkarni's students learned. You can also view this video podcast in your browser at this link.

Life Science @ Mabry (VP)

Ms. Larkin, one of our 7th grade Life Science teachers, put together an excellent video podcast overview of the Inquiry-based Life Science program at Mabry Middle School. As our 7th grade science teachers participate deeply in collaboration, we decided to share this with the whole Mabry family. You can view this podcast through your browser by clicking on this link. Or, you can download it and play it through iTunes on your computer and even sync it to your video iPod.

Science Fair Winners

I am proud of our students who participated in the District Science Fair. We had a number of students who placed and earned recognition for their work. This enhanced podcast features some of the students (Jeffrey, Kaleigh, Skylar, Chris) who won an award. Each student briefly describes his or her project. Enjoy!

7th Grade Jekyll Expedition: The North End (EP)

I am at Jekyll Island with our 7th grade students. This field trip is just an awesome learning experience for our Mabry students. Be sure to keep up with the event "as it happens" at our Jekyll Blog, which features hundreds of pictures and important information related to the trip. This year we are even posting podcasts.

This podcast is a highly compressed version of the student class about the living organisms around the docks. Despite the drizzly rain, we had a great time! Click the icon below to download our podcast. Then open the file in iTunes to watch it!
